The movie adaptation of the comic book The Green Hornet has arrived on our silver screens.

Seth Rogen plays Britt Reid, a playboy waster who, after the death of his father, ends up becoming a superhero and fighting crime.

Rogen not only stars in the film but co-wrote it. The actor said it was a dream come true: "I'm a very big geek, a huge geek! Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to do a comic book movie or something like that.

"I was a kid who made superhero clothes out of pillowcases!"

In the movie Rogen has a sidekick, his late dad's assistant Kato, played by Jay Chou.

Cameron Diaz, who plays the role of Rogen's secretary, could not stop gushing over Chou's skills: "He's a singer, a dancer, a magician, a driver, a Kung Fu master and of course a superhero, and he's the nicest guy on earth."

The Green Hornet is showing in cinemas across the UK now.
